Is the cosine function an odd function?

  • No. Cosine, along with sec, is an even function. The odd functions are sin, tan, csc, and cot. The reason for this is because is you take the opposite of the y-value for the cosine function, the overall value of the function is not affected.
  • Take, for example, cos(60 degrees), which equals POSITIVE 1/2.
  • If you flip it over the x-axis, making the y's negative, it becomes cos(-60 degrees), or cos(300 degrees). This equals POSITIVE 1/2.
  • Now let's look at an odd function. For example, sin(30 degrees) equals POSITIVE 1/2. Now take the opposite of this.
  • sin(-30 degrees), or sin(330 degrees), equals NEGATIVE 1/2. This is because it is found in the fourth quadrant, where the y's are negative. Sine of theta, by definition, is y divided by r. If y is negative, sine is negative.

Definition of the 6 trigonometric functions?

The six main trigonometric functions are

sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse

cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse

tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

csc(x)=hypotenuse/opposite

cot(x)=adjacent/opposite

sec(x)=hypotenuse/adjacent

Where hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent correspond to the three sides of a right triangle and x corresponds to an angle in that right triangle.

Which equation can be used to find two numbers such that twice the first equals three times the second and three times their difference exceeds twice the second by 13?

Let the two numbers be x and y, then:

  1. Twice the first equals three times the second: 2x = 3y
  2. Three times their difference exceeds the second by 13: 3(x - y) = y + 13

From equation (1) it is clear the first number (x) is greater than the second (y), so their difference is x - y.

Equation (2) can be rearranged:

3(x - y) = y + 13

→ 3x - 3y = y + 13

→ 3x = 4y + 13

This gives two simultaneous equations:

  1. 2x - 3y = 0
  2. 3x - 4y = 13

which can then be solved to find the two numbers (x and y).

How do you show how sin theta equals cos theta tan theta?

sinθ = O/H

cosθ = A/H

tanθ = O/A

cosθ*tanθ = A/H * O/A = AO/AH = O/H

Therefore, sinθ = cosθtanθ = O/H

(Notes: O=opposite, A=adjacent, H=hypotenuse)

How do you solve the equation h equals -16t2 plus 64t plus 1224 for h?

-16t2 + 64t + 1224 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1

16t2 - 64t - 1224 = 0

Divide both side by 8

2t2 - 8t - 153 = 0

Cannot be factored so use the formula (-b (+ or -)(root of b2 - 4ac)) / 2a

What is north and south meridian and east west parallel?

They are imaginary lines drawn on spheres such as the earth, sun, moon, planets to simplify the location of points of interest.

What is a 213 degree angle?

An angle of 213 degrees is a reflex angle

What is tangent of 20 degrees?

tan(20 deg) = 0.3640 approx.

You seem not to be aware but you could have obtained the answer much more easily and quickly by using the calculator that comes as part of your computer.

What is the cotangent of 0.675?

Cotangent(0.675 radians) = 84.88 approx.

What does sin x mean?

It means the ratio of the opposite angle to the hypotenuse of a triangle for angle "x". This is for a right triangle.

How do you solve 2 sin squared theta equals one fourth?

2 sin^2 theta = 1/4

sin^2 theta = 1/8

sin theta = sqrt(1/8)

theta = arcsin(sqrt(1/8))

What is the sin of 10000?

It depends if you want the answer in radians or degrees.

Either way, the answer is -0.984807753 degrees or -0.3056143889 radians.

What jobs use trigonometry functions?

Often people involved in industrial production will use polar graphs to program their machines; take, for, example, a pretzel-making machine. They can graph the path the "dough-shaping" machine must follow on a polar graph.

What jobs use trigonometric?

There are many careers that use trigonometry:

  • Engineers
  • Architects
  • Artists
  • Physicists
  • Astronomers
  • Draftsman
  • Craftsman
  • Pharmacist
  • Financial Analyst

Where is INV button or option in Casio scientific calculator mine is fx-500ES please help asap?

The INV button is the same as the SHIFT button on the top left corner of the buttons (the leftmost button under the screen).

How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when only a side length and angle is given?

Dependent on what side you are given you would use Sin(Θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse just rearrange the formula to Hypotenuse = Opposite/Sin(Θ).

Or if you are given the adjacent side use Cosine(Θ)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, then:

Hypotenuse = Adjacent/Cosine(Θ)

What is the triangular prism volume formula?

The Formula is Base*Height, or 1/2 Height (altitude of the triangle) * Base (of the Triangle) * height (Height of the prism)

Why the value of tan A is always less than one?

The values of tan are limitless (that is to say, within [-inf, inf]). However, sin and cos ratios are between -1 and 1. Think about it: sin = opposite/hypotenuse. Since hypotenuse is always larger than or equal to opposite, sin must always be less than 1. Same with cos.
